how to fix flickering r9 290 on windows 10

In my desktop, I have a Radeon R9 290 on Win 10 64bit which works well for a while, and then after a while of use starts annoyingly flickering with every change of screen (scrolling windows, moving windows, start menu, right-clicks to pop up context menu, etc). I've got a dual mirrored screen setup: my Samsung TV is connected on HDMI and my AOC monitor is connected via DVI and I'm using straight wires, no converters. The Samsung TV seems OK while this is happening on my monitor. If I'm playing a game, I don't have any issue, it's really only in desktop mode.The only other thing is when I'm watching something on Kodi (only that program), I sometimes get a big black horizontal stripe right across the screen, sometimes bigger on 1 side than on another.

This started happening after the last big Windows 10 update. I've tried everything with regards to drivers, uninstall, reinstall completely, try an older driver, ... and I'm really out of ideas. There are 3 workarounds that I know of:

- rebooting

- disabling and re-enabling the device via device manager- unplugging the DVI cable and plugging it back in.

I have seen similar issues with DVI settings on different forums, and only with Win10 and specifically after a recent update. Microsoft encourages Win10 users to report these issues...and you don't have to be a "Insider". How to report Windows 10 bugs to Microsoft?

I am not sure that this could be remedied by graphics settings like these (screenshot) which were removed by AMD in the driver versions older than the 16.11.5. Hopefully they will be returning in future updates.

Thanks for the quick answer. I've reported the issue to Windows, not sure if they do something about it though, I can only hope so.My settings are completely different from yours indeed. Maybe I'll give that 16.11.5 a try and see if that helps, thank you for the suggestion
